Editor's note: In partnership with Intent.com, Experience Life presented "Achieving Your Intention," a month-long series of guest blogs by bestselling author M.J. Ryan on how to make good on our intentions, in January 2009. Here you'll find 10 archived entries from the series in which  Ryan draws from the fields of brain science, positive psychology and organizational development to craft a toolbox that, first, helps us ferret out what our intentions are and, then, helps us make those intentions a reality. Intent.com provides content and community for who you aspire to be -- personally, socially and globally. Enjoy!

Simply put, an intent can be anything you want to change or achieve in your life or in the world in which you live - it can be personal, social or global, or all three. In this month-long learning series, M. J. Ryan, author of the best-selling book, This Year I Will...: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True, will take you through four steps, each lasting one week, to help you figure out what your most important intentions are and give you the tools to make each a reality.
